Half Past Dead (2002) 5/10

Starring : Steven Seagal, Morris Chestnut, Ja Rule
Director : Don Michael Paul
Running Time : 98 mins

Criminal car thief Sascha Petrosevitch (Seagal) goes undercover in the newly reopened Alcatraz prison to find information to convict those responsible for the death of his wife, but he finds himself in a whole heap of trouble when a group calling themselves the 49ers get onto Alcatraz Island to take control of the penitentiary and locate a prisoner who is rumoured to know the location of $200 million in gold.

Seagal seems to have a nasty habit of making movies with rappers in them – or it might just be that rappers enjoy making ridiculous heist movies and want to stereotype themselves as criminals. This movie wasn’t great, and the plot was pretty unfeasible and felt forced in places, but fans of Seagal could do worse than this action flick, although there’s a little less action than usual from ole Stevie-boy.
